I am currently doing my master in eletronic Engineering and by far this is the best explanation i have found in the internet, very complete and easy to understand. Congrats
I'm a beginner to all this EE stuff but I've dabbled for years. I've seen I2C thrown around a lot but I didn't understand what it meant. Your video helped me immensely. You earned a like and subscribe from me!
9:52 detail about modes & speed: Clock stretching. If it wants to, during transfer the slave is allowed to hold the clock line low. The master has to wait until the clock line is released. The slave can effectively slow down the speed
7:47 note about open-drain terminology: Drain is actually plus (aka VDD). Source is ground (aka VSS). Open-drain means I can only connect to VSS, but not to VDD. so when he said a "logic that opens and closes a drain", he meant logic that can *open and close a source*.

Thanks for the Video. This Video was very Useful. Can you post another i2c video Explaining about the Arbitration Process and Clock Stretching Concepts ?
Dear friends, I'm a little confused in the page "Aside: timing relationship between SDA and SCL". As you mentioned in the former page, the SDA and SCL are both high in the begaining, but why in this page it shows starts with low?
If you mean that SDA forms like hexagons, that is just to say "Bit, that can be either low or high", but in the diagram you don't know what is it. So you draw it as both, looking like 2 lines but is just one, once you define what number it is. And the other SCL its a clock, like a rythm that the data will follow to be in sync with eachother
im confused , lets take the example of a 16x2 LCD display with I2C module , the LCD have VCC, GND,V0, A and K pins which are the power and light, and there is the D0-D7, RW, RS AND E for typing the characters so how on earth can the I2C deal with the RW , RS and E signals while the 8 bit DATA are occupied for the D0-D7
That's a good question. 16x2 LCDs with the HD44780 controller chip (which is very common) can be configured to use a "4-bit mode" where only D4-D7 are used. In this mode, each data or command byte to the LCD is entered by sending two "half-bytes" in succession. This way D4-D7, RW, RS, E (and backlight control) can fit into 8 bits provided by the I2C I/O expander module. AFAIK, the LCDs with the PCF8574 I2C I/O expander all work this way. Even if this 4-bit mode didn't exist, you could choose a different I/O expander that provides more than 8 outputs. The PCF8574 happens to have only 8 outputs, so it uses the simplest protocol and just expects to be told the state of the 8 pins as a byte from I2C. However, for many other I2C I/O expanders especially those with more than 8 I/O lines, instead of just transferring a "plain" byte like that in each I2C frame, it expects commands telling it which pins to set high/low, which pins to set as inputs/outputs, etc. so that they are not limited to 8 I/O lines. An example of this is the TCA9539, a 16-bit I/O expander.
@@shuyuanliu9797 thank god ,, sombody gived me a direct answer , its seems like 4 bit mode is the trick here , 00100000 to set that mode and since the D0-D3 are all zeros they can be ignored all the time ,now i can design the logic gate level circuit of that and compile it to FPGA ...... man you are a legend
Can someone tell me how this ack bit works? As in the video it is set by the receiver. So, the sender send the data and the ack is set by the receiver at the end? If yes how it happens can anyone explain?
The sender sends the data, and the receiver responds to the received data with an ACK bit. Once the sender receives the ack bit, it continues sending the next byte, and waits again for the next ACK or NACK.
Good question. Yes, I2C allows any node to be the master: whichever node initiates the start condition becomes the master (see slide 5). Many I2C systems are however operated such that only one node is ever the master, but the protocol does allow for multimaster operation.
Interesting fact about the ACK: If a master reads from a slave, it will not acknowledge the last data packet to signal the slave that transmission is done
Someone didn’t get the memo that using master-slave terms are being phased out in favor of non-offensive terms like Initiator-Responder…just fyi…great information otherwise…thank you

This video saved me so much time - just the information I needed. Please make more!!!
Thank you! There are already videos on UART and SPI, and some videos on automotive protocols are currently under development as well.
Super video. Just the right length and depth of content. Thank you!

Yes - I originally had a few slides about clock stretching but took them out in the interest of time / brevity. Thanks!
As a Communication and networking student, I can confirm that this is exactly what I learn in my 1 hour lecture
Thanks!
That has got to be one of the best of these types of videos I've ever seen!
Thank you! I also have videos on UART, SPI, and SPMI :)

Super useful, thanks
Brilliant - thanks !
Why are there two separate lines for the data bits? Are they high and low at the same time? How does that work?
the point is that clock must follow that structure but then data can be whatever is transmitted, so the protocol doesn't require some specific state
If you mean that SDA forms like hexagons, that is just to say "Bit, that can be either low or high", but in the diagram you don't know what is it. So you draw it as both, looking like 2 lines but is just one, once you define what number it is.
And the other SCL its a clock, like a rythm that the data will follow to be in sync with eachother
thank you, for the great job.

Is not I2C multimaster?
Good question. Yes, I2C allows any node to be the master: whichever node initiates the start condition becomes the master (see slide 5). Many I2C systems are however operated such that only one node is ever the master, but the protocol does allow for multimaster operation.
